> Github provides a very useful project-independent unified UI for drive-by patches and off-the-cuff issues.

Unless you value your privacy. If you take the necessary steps to approximate the level of "privacy in public"[1] that you get by default when dropping into someone's disconnected bugtracker or attaching a patch via email, then GitHub is pretty cumbersome to use. The article argues the case that GitHub is making life easier for people trying to build their personal brand, but not everybody wants that.

I don't use GitHub for myself and never have, but I used to make exceptions for projects that are hosted there[2]. Not anymore. There's enough toil involved trying to dodge the unwanted social hoopla that GitHub imposes on you, and the returns I've gotten out of "engaging with the community" are so, so low.

Nowadays if I report a bug or try to submit a patch and someone gestures towards GitHub and insists that it's not just the front door to the building but in fact the only way in, then I explain that the only circumstances where I use GitHub involves for-pay work, so unless there's someone I know I can send a bill to, then I'm perfectly content to just never go inside. But people in general seem to have a lot of trouble right now grappling with the notion that submitting a patch or a bug report is not something that I'm doing because it benefits me. (Imagine working as a plumber, showing up for a call wearing coveralls and carrying your toolbag, finding that you've arriving at a club, and then dealing with someone at the door who's trying to argue with you about their entry fee because, hey, this is a club, so they expect you to pay them.) The only thing people seem to understand anymore is the quest to become someone with influencer-level status, and that certainly has something to do with the culture referenced in the blog post. It would be one thing if it were just kids, but it's something that has infected plenty of old hats who were around before GitHub, which is pretty annoying.

>two of the most infamous predatory publishers (WASET and OMICS) are based in Turkey and India respectively

Well, as an Indian postdoc working in the US, I can speak to some of these sketchy behaviours. In terms of the predatory publishers, my Indian institution had its own filters, and most labs have their own as well. For example, for a while we had an institutional restriction on submitting manuscripts to conference proceedings, with the justification that the hard time limit equals substandard peer review. In addition, for the longest time we were not allowed to submit anything to open source journals, with similar justifications. Publishing in a journal with an IF < 8 was also frowned upon, and the institution would not cover publication expenses. AFAIK other institutions had similar filters for publications. I would regard my institution as a decent, but nowhere near the best in my field in India.

Who does publish in these predatory journals? Smaller, less well funded universities with desperate students, ever since the government mandated first author publications as a requirement for receiving PhD degrees.
Playbooks are terrible. They are a replacement for expert knowledge of platform tooling. There is no replacement for expertise and knowledge of the platform.

Serious problems are always reduced to understanding the
platform, not the playbook. Ansible and the python
ecosystem are especially broken. I will _never_ use another
playbook to replace mature ssh driven deployments.
A lot of this comes from database companies not thinking through what they want to give away and what they want to keep as "the secret sauce".

With KeyDB we kept it super simple. Open Source KeyDB is open source under a BSD license. For things we want to charge for we keep them completely separate and don't play games with things like "shared source". For open source to work you need an open license, otherwise it's not fair to the external contributors.
Dairy farmers? Seems unlikely.
This, I believe, is the largest difference between today and twenty years ago.

That, and the pervasiveness of social media. Myspace, for example, was huge. But unlike today’s social media, maybe 25% of your AFK circles would hang out there, not 95% like today.
You would think, but empirically that doesn't seem to be the case. People don't like it when some guy in suspenders makes a lot of money on his computer in a downtown office, but they really hate it when some schmuck down the street makes some money in a pretty much identical fashion. It's a class thing. It also goes against some kind of superficial common knowledge about the markets. If your cab driver (or local reddit goon) starts getting into the markets, you're supposed to get out and let the bubble boil over. But things are so bizarroworld right now that that wisdom doesn't really apply.

Ask HN: Are Robinhood users becoming more impactful then Wall Street funds?
LEAPS(Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities) calls, 1-2 years out in something too important to fail at a current all time low that the big shorters are ganged-up against is the value bet to look for. My 1/20/23 $3 AMC LEAPS calls that I've been accumulating since the pandemic struck long before wall street bets took notice are up 227% today as of 10 seconds ago for the day, and 822% overall. Granted, I'm benefiting from the commotion going on, but I'm holding until the end, because I believe in the long term fundamentals of AMC and hope to be positioned to exercise rather than sell by the time expiry arrives. (Edit: wording.)
It's really not. Because eventually retail is going to get destroyed.

Yes, some hedge funds have lost their shirts, but those are the first ones who were in the short before the squeeze. The hedge funds and more importantly day trading shops making money right now are the ones who saw the activity and are goosing the stock price right now. I don't know if people realize that there are thousands of day trading shops where hundreds of people are in a single room, like an internet cafe, where people are day trading at terminals and people bark orders to each other and they all jump on the same stocks. These are probably the shops that are responsible for most of this volume.

There is no way that WSB boosted the price for $40 to $400. Those are hedge funds and trading shops that jumped into it afterwards.

They will sell at the top, and retail investors are going to buy on the fall, thinking it's "on sale" and then they will get wiped out.

Its very frustrating.
The kinesis is great in my opinion, but the two sides are not far enough apart. A little is better than nothing, but you still have to position your hands forward, stretched out in front of you.
Malware Emotet disrupted through global action
IMO that last point is because we’re still trying to govern the Internet based on telecom laws from decades ago. Tech moves way faster than laws, especially tech that is helping politicians get elected. The financial and political incentives aren’t aligned to make significant changes any time soon.
I used to have this with airdrop all the time, and handoff too. So much potential but never really worked well. When it works it feels magical, but most of the time I just ended up being frustrated and copying things up and down via dropbox.

Lol no, that would be a very serious accounting fraud. That is exactly what Enron did - they used to sign a contract and immediately book all the projected profits.

Here's how it works:

1) If the goods weren't delivered and the customer hasn't paid then they're in the inventory on the balance sheet (assuming the goods were already produced) and nothing is in the income statement.

2) If the goods were delivered but the customer hasn't paid then this is in accounts receivable on the assets in the balance sheet and in the revenue in the income statement.

3) If the goods were delivered and the customer has paid then this is in cash on the balance sheet and in the revenue in the income statement.

4) If the goods weren't delivered but the customer has already (pre)paid then this is in cash on the balance sheet, but also in deferred revenue in liabilities, and not in the revenue in the income statement.

TL;DR: you can only recognize revenue if you deliver the product/service, until that time it's either just inventory (asset) or inventory(asset)+cash(asset)+deferred revenue(liability). AMD revenue = chips delivered to customers in the quarter.
This is really messed up. I have doubts about what other people say, but I try to reserve judgement about those things. When them make claims that I haven't seen any evidence for, I ask for their evidence so I can understand where they are coming from, but make my own assessment about the truth. I am not badgering anyone, but I refuse to let people make claims without evidence, if it is 1.) it's a statement of fact, not opinion, and 2.) there is no consensus about it's truth from what I have seen or it goes against that consensus. If you don't like that, don't read my comments.
Why not? Even under communism when nobody really had money, my grandmother would diligently squirrely as much as she could. My dad did as well, in order to save up for his eventual emigration.

There are ways to live below your means under even extreme situations.
Well until you have a definite consistent strategy to make money off it, its still "efficient market" with noise.

The noise just got bigger...
A Modest License (Satire)
It's kind of like people who hear a real-world argument, and dismiss it by naming a logical fallacy, e.g. "Straw man!" They fail to recognize that an argument may not be strictly valid as proof, but still carries some weight when evaluated in light of observation.

For example, "I don't believe chemtrails are a thing, because my friend is an aircraft mechanic, and he's never seen any sign of equipment to spray mind-altering chemicals from commercial planes." "Appeal to authority!"
Flying taxi to be trialled in two years
TBH what looks like what is happening right now is more of a game of chicken between the short sellers. We'll find out friday when some options contracts expire. Seems like some shorts are just seeing if they can wait it out.

But there is no one "bleeding" as they won't realize the losses until they sell the contract or it expires.
I'm only a couple of years older than you are. Some of my friends had internet
at home well before me during high school, but I only got it when I moved after
High School (my parents weren't so much anti-tech are completely outside of it).

So while I very well remember goatse, tubgirl and rotten.com, I only discovered
those as an adult.

Also note that I wasn't singling out social media here. It's the web as a
whole that seems very unsuited for a teenager without supervision, IMO.
I was 12, I self learned how to google properly, write html, css and photoshop, how to avoid online scams and advertisements, eventually this self learning grew into teaching myself PHP, SQL, how to build computers, setup arch linux into a LAMP server on my own VPS. Unsupervised internet was not all bad. I probably would have avoided internet time if I was being watched by my parents. Lol

If it was just opioids or ampthetamines, alcohol or nocotine wouldn't be addictive, would it? Please don't use incomplete or irrelevant factoids when you contradict.

But prediction of reward might very well be a concise description of the drive behind social media use.
Yeah I'm not actually going to do it. Also, as someone pointed out, max gain is 100% (I was confused), so there's really not enough upside to bother with, at least for the amount of money I'm willing to plonk down on it.
Cross platform is the obvious one. I think react native is "good enough" in app quality and tooling. I agree with most of your points. Developing a iOS only app is smoother sailing.
The 10-50% more effort it takes to make a good RN app can easily be offset by a) getting 2+ plattforms b) if you have >10-50% more experience with JS and factor that into dev time/quality. The downsides and cross platform are covered, here‘s some other benefits:

- if you think swiftUI is better than AppKit you can use a mature framework in the same style and could have been doing so for years

- live feedback: SwiftUI previews and fast recompiles are garbage compared to React Fast Refresh which instantly updates the running app, on device, even preserving UI state half the time

- you can update the app outside of the app store, it may be against the rules or not but people do it all the time

- there are more medium quality but ready to go UI components out there. I was pretty shocked by that the last time I did iOS dev.

- Swift is a good language but Typescript is way more chill while still being a pretty good language

- personal opinion: simple animations in react native are not exactly perfect but coding custom CoreAnimation is way harder (for me)

- going from a random design that does not take iOS UI conventions or guidelines into account to an app that looks exactly the same is faster/easier. Is that good? Idk but it‘s something agencies need to do all the time.

Why Digital Marketing Analytics Are Crucial to Success
I generally like the idea of rewarding replication studies. Replication/validation could be a required process that runs concurrently to peer review. The researchers who run the experiments to replicate results could rewarded by being added as contributors to the original paper, so they also get the citations. And like you suggest, the paper would then be marked as "validated" or something similar. I wonder if any journals out there are already doing something like this.

There is, of course, the danger of collusion among original authors and validators. Hopefully the fear of having your results rebuked would prevent people from trying to publish bullshit in the first place.

Another problem is logistics. Research labs have their own ideas they want to push forward, so spending time and resources proving or (even worse) disproving some else's idea doesn't sound that great. Also, even if it gives you citations, it probably wouldn't help you with your thesis.

Anyways, it's a tough problem to solve.

Of course there was always violence and sexual content on TV and elsewhere, but
comparing Japanese anime and Tom and Jerry to stuff like
https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadorVegetable/ (NSFL) or the hardcore porn you can
find basically everywhere online is disingenuous. I don't think I'm very
squeamish but there's stuff online that still profoundly disturbs me in my mid
thirties. Meanwhile, and at the risk of bragging a little, I can watch any Tom
and Jerry easily even late at night and still sleep soundly. Hardcore, I
know.

You couldn't see the surveillance footage a guy being dismembered by a lathe or
weird Japanese rape porn in 1080p by "pushing a couple of buttons" before the
internet. Well, at least not where I grew up...
A lot! I ran named entity recognition on the Twitter garden hose back in 2012. The top entities were Bieber and the Jonas brothers.
I feel similar, especially durring this covid stuff my internet habits have gotten pretty bad. I turned off my Twitter, Facebook got a bit. Reddit was hard but I think keeping it read only (I gave my gf my account passwords) at least keeps me from interacting.

It's hard, there's no immediate downside to checking your phone or app.

I kind of think stuff like infinite scroll, gamification of social media needs some kind of regulation. I don't think we have the power to fight for our selves against these companies
Are you sure Android didn't reinvent the wheel (again)? I certainly remember iOS having the option far earlier than any Android.
Texas was one of the 10 closest states in the previous election. If it's a "hard right" state than 80% of the states in the U.S. are "hard left" or "hard right". Which is a completely nonsensical definition.

Anything with an internet connection requires some level of supervision. There's no free access to internet connected devices at this point, have to ask, use in spaces where we monitor, etc.
Alot of people aren't trying to make money, they just want to kill a few hedgefunds regardless how much money they lose, they know they'll never retire and they're already broke, many of these people have nothing to lose

Ethical arguments are often shorthand that skip the steps of observing humans and their emotions and taking some of them as givens.

An ethical framework does the epistemological work of observing what humans are and how they feel and behave in various situations and forming generalizations that hopefully aren't too wrong.

This is why arguing ethics across ethical frameworks is so frustrating; the semantics aren't compatible enough.

I think that's what OP is saying and if that's the case, they are wrong. Minimum wage is not inflationary. It has other problems like the fact it never ever decreases poverty, and has a good chance of increasing unemployment, and is a one-size-fits all ($15/hr in NY, is different than $15/hr in Alabama) ... but it isn't inflationary. You're not creating new money.
Yes! There are applications of “Topology 101” that are not Euclidean spaces, e.g. “Totally disconnected” spaces show up early on in number theory, and the Zariski topology associated to an algebraic variety/scheme is foundational in algebraic geometry.

That said, any mathematician calling themselves a “topologist” is likely studying things like homology/homotopy or generalizations which mostly apply to Euclideanish spaces.
I think it's useful to maintain a discipline of mental hygiene and to isolate yourself from the constant flood of news, good and bad. If you get too focused on the success stories you'll be constantly worrying about whether you're missing out on something good, which impedes your ability to actually get anything done exceptionally because you're doubting your own thing and your own place in the world all the time. In the wise words of Charlie Munger: "Someone will always be getting richer faster than you. This is not a tragedy."

This is the same kind of mental gymnastics that gave us trickle down economics.

The societal ethics, morality and the spirit of the law should all be taken into account when judging behaviour. Exploiting tax structures in order to conceal income is absolutely immoral and shouldn't be tolerated.

This is especially egregious when the tax loopholes are effectively gated behind behing a multi-national corporation. It leads to even greater concentrations of wealth in the hands of these companies which damages the health of the local markets they operate in.

The way shorting is done, is you borrow shares from someone who owns some, and then you sell it. You now have cash. Later, you can go and buy it from someone (for hopefully less than you sold it for) and return the share. You keep (or lose) the difference.

So yeah, if the long holders just keep holding, it'll keep going up and those that are short will owe more and more to their lenders (and paying more and more in interest, I think). Even if they want to cover their short, there's not enough shares to go around for them to buy. This is why it's being called an "infinite squeeze". They've shorted the stock more than there are actually shares out there, so it's difficult to cover.

There's some more factors at play when you consider option contracts, I think.
